Cemetery vandalism investigated
Police say property damage charges may be laid in connection with a Sunday morning auto theft in Scotch Settlement.
Early Sunday morning police recovered a 2006 Dodge Ram taken earlier the same day from a residence in Scotch Settlement. It was extensively damaged.
RCMP arrested an adult male and a youth.
The vehicle was taken from a residence after 2 a.m. and ditched on a dirt road in Silverwood.
Before it was ditched, city police suspect it may have been involved in two separate incidents of damage in the city's downtown.
Police spokesman Cpl. Martin Gaudet said the vehicle could have been used by culprits to cause damage to cemetery plots at the Aboriginal Burial Grounds on the Woodstock Road.
Gaudet said a vehicle was also used to smash into a highway sign on Golf Club Road.
